Making progress

I completed my 20th radiation treatment today. That puts me half-way through this phase of treatment. My radiologist is pleased with my progress. From his standpoint, everything is moving along as it should. He is amazed I have gone this far into the program with no esophagitis and no burning of my skin ~ just a little pink. ...
At chemotherapy today, I overheard a conversation between an elderly lady and a nurse. The lady had used some drug samples to help increase her appetite and gain weight. It worked. She needed some more samples. The office was out of samples. The nurse suggested sending an application to the drug maker for a free prescription. Sometimes they'll pitch in for folks on a fixed income. No, the woman, said, she had applied and missed the guidelines by $420 a year. That's barely $8 a week. No one in this country should have to go without medicine over $8 a week. The woman went on to say that when she got sick she spent several days deciding whether to kill herself or go to the hospital. I'm glad she decided to seek treatment. I hope somehow she can afford the medicine she needs. ...
Leaving you on a lighter note: A very arrogant oncologist, Dr. Stoneheart, dies and goes straight to Hell. On arrival the Devil says, "I'm going to give you three choices, which is more than you ever gave your patients. Whichever door you choose will be how you'll spend eternity."
So the doctor opens the first door and sees a mob of people sitting on a floor covered with spikes. He goes to the next door and sees a humongous crowd of sinners lying down in maggots.
At the third door, there is a throng of people chatting happily and drinking coffee, although they are up to their knees in manure. "Thank God," he exalts, "It smells terrible, but least I could drink coffee and be able to talk to people." He enters and joins the group. He is about to sip his first coffee when a loudspeaker announces, "Coffee break is over. Back to standing on your heads!"
